Free Education Empowers Rural Girls In Huaping - China

Free Education Empowers Rural Girls In Huaping - China

Two students have meals outdoors at Huaping Senior High School for Girls in Huaping County, Lijiang City, southwest China's Yunnan Province, Dec. 23, 2025. Each morning at Huaping High School for Girls in Yunnan Province, the schoolyard rings with a bold pledge, "I was born to be a mountain not a creek, rising to the high peaks with the valleys at my feet." Behind that voice stands Zhang Guimei, the school's founder and principal. In her sixties and struggling with illness, she still devotes more than 18 hours a day to her students. Megaphone in hand, she has become a living symbol of how education can open doors that poverty once closed. Founded in 2008, Huaping High School for Girls is the country's first senior high school to offer free education for girls. The school in mountainous Yunnan Province has created a miracle, with more than 2,000 graduates -- most of whom come from low-income rural families -- admitted to colleges and universities. Many of them later became teachers, doctors and civil servants,

Last Day Before The Final Closure Of Marineland - Antibes

The famous Marineland water park, located in Antibes, in the South of France, is closing its doors on January 5, 2025 after 55 years of service. Many visitors came to enjoy the spectacular shows one last time, including the most famous, that of the orcas. Indeed, the park's two Orcas and their caretakers gave a very final show filled with emotion in front of a captivated audience. The end of an era. Marineland is forced to close its doors following the 2021 law banning cetacean shows. However, the fate of the animals in the park and in particular the two orcas is not sealed and worries the animal protection associations who demonstrated once again near the park on this day of permanent closure.

Photo Essay: The Old Teahouse in Pengzhen Town, Chengdu, China

CHENGDU, CHINA - JULY 24, 2015 - (FILE) Photo taken on 24 July 2015 shows the Ancient Pengzhen Town Teahouse located on the old street in Pengzhen Town, about 30 km in the west of Chengdu, China's Sichuan province. The old house is a bungalow, nameless, no sign, with an area of 200-300 square meters, facing the streets on its two sides. The front and back doors are all made of wooden boards. The main wooden hall beams hanging overhead inside the teahouse slants a bit down and the walls are discolored by damps and crumbling with age, which all tells us the old teahouse still lives in the remote history. When you enter the old teahouse, you will see the old tea tables, old bamboo chairs, old tea customers, old teapots, giving people a feeling of being in the another world. Here there is no hustle and bustle of the cities, no shadows of reckless people, but rather a simple and leisure mode of live, attracting numerous visitors each year to experience the simple and unsophisticated life style.

Photo Essay: The Old Teahouse in Pengzhen Town, Chengdu, China

CHENGDU, CHINA - JULY 24, 2015 - (FILE) Photo taken on 24 July 2015 shows the Ancient Pengzhen Town Teahouse located on the old street in Pengzhen Town, about 30 km in the west of Chengdu, China's Sichuan province. The old house is a bungalow, nameless, no sign, with an area of 200-300 square meters, facing the streets on its two sides. The front and back doors are all made of wooden boards. The main wooden hall beams hanging overhead inside the teahouse slants a bit down and the walls are discolored by damps and crumbling with age, which all tells us the old teahouse still lives in the remote history. When you enter the old teahouse, you will see the old tea tables, old bamboo chairs, old tea customers, old teapots, giving people a feeling of being in the another world. Here there is no hustle and bustle of the cities, no shadows of reckless people, but rather a simple and leisure mode of live, attracting numerous visitors each year to experience the simple and unsophisticated life style.
